Outsider Artist: George Widener at Ricco/Maresca

And this is why my job is so great, yesterday I had the pleasure of installing some of George Widener's work at Ricco/Maresca Gallery (this exact work in fact). Widener has quickly shot to the top of my favorite artists and someone I need to investigate more. A high functioning autistic savant with a taste for dates. While enjoying this piece, I was struck by how my work has similar traits to his. Kindred spirits? Who knows, but I love his work.
